Heavenly Star
Chapter 116
Ning Xue waited on and on, until finally, she sees her that her brother had returned. But at the sight of him hugging a young woman in his arms, her lips slowly flattened. The girl was occupying the spot that belonged to her.
She quickly put away this small grievance, and rushed to greet him, “Brother, where have you been, why did you only return after a very long time?”
“I went to find you a sister.”
Ye Wuchen laughed and put down Tong Xin, who finally opened her eyes. Before they entered Tian Long City, Ye Wuchen had requested her to quietly lean on his shoulders, and had forbidden her from opening her eyes.
“Tong Xin, her name is Ning Xue. From now on she will be your younger sister.You will treat her the same way you treat me, understand?”
Tong Xin slowly nodded, showing Ning Xue her sweetest smile. For a moment Ning Xue stared at her, stunned, and almost subconsciously, she said in a lovable voice, “You are so cute… so beautiful!”
After saying that, she reached out her hands to touch Tong Xin’s face; a simple minded girl liked beautiful things. First impression wise, Ning Xue was quite impressed by Tong Xin’s appearance, her heart even had the intention to hug her tightly like she would a doll.
“Sister Tong Xin, you are really cute.” Ning Xue exclaimed in admiration. Taking her hand back, she covered her own face, feeling for the two frightening scars. She felt ashamed of them, but this feeling vanished at once, because as long as brother did not hate her, why would she care about these things?
Tong Xin also reached out to touch her. Caressing those two long scars, her eyes were full of curiosity. But Ning Xue felt something was strange, Tong Xin had not spoken from beginning until the end.
“Xue-er, Tong Xin cannot talk, moreover she doesn’t know anything. You should take good care of her.” Ye Wuchen said smiling.
“En! I certainly will.”
Now, she did not just have a brother, but also a sister. How could she be unhappy?
The two young ladies, one with black hair, the other with white hair, one wearing a white dress, the other wearing a black dress, the two of them standing side by side formed a visual contrast. The smile on Ye Wuchen’s face quickly disappeared, because he suddenly found out that aside from Ning Xue’s white dress and Tong Xin’s black dress, aside from the colors…… they were actually the same!
Ning Xue’s dress was still the same dress that she wore when Ye Wuchen first saw her, no change at all. That clean and white dress was still the same spotless dress; it had never gotten dirty. No matter how many tricks Ye Wuchen used, he was simply unable ruin it.
Ye Wuchen extended his fingers, lighting them with a colorless ray to slowly cut through Tong Xin’s dress. The outcome was… Tong Xin’s dress was markless, not even a single trace was there.
Ye Wuchen’s eyes as well as his heart trembled violently. His thoughts flew back to the first day he arrived at this world, to the first voice he heard...
“... The saviors had descended from the World of Gods. They were the only two daughters of the god. One of them was dressed in white from head to toe. Her hair, her clothes, her large wings were all white. The humans called the White Winged Angel. The other was dressed all in black. Black hair, black eyes, even demon-like black wings, and so she was called the Black Winged Angel.”
White dress and white hair… Black hair and black eyes…
Exactly identical to Ning Xue and Tong Xin in front of his eyes right now!
The god had two daughters. It signified that the black and white angels were sisters… Did they wear similar clothes?
Ye Wuchen somehow absent-mindedly carried Ning Xue with one arm, while his right hand softly stroked the scars on her face, and gently said, “Is this the curse that you have suffered? If it is real… What kind of curse did you suffer from? Why didn’t you return? And why did you become so small? This-this could all just be my imagination.”
Ning Xue blinked innocently, completely oblivious to what he was talking about.
There was a knock on the door, and Ye Qi’s voice came from outside the door, “Young master, madame commanded me to bring some food for the new lady.”
“Come in.”
The door opened for Ye Qi to enter with his head lowered and a tray in his hands. He put down the tray on the table but could not help stealing a look at the new lady, curious about what she looked like. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and his eyes and feet were did not move as if they were glued on the spot.
He had thought all along that the eldest miss of the Ye Family was the most beautiful fairy in the whole world, but he now realized that a person could be more beautiful. Moreover, at such a young age, she was already prettier than the eldest miss, such outstanding beauty could make him lose his soul in an instant.
“Ye Qi, you may go.”
The flat tone resounded like thunder and had woken Ye Qi. He quickly lowered his head, then left with hurried footsteps without looking back again. With the shock he was experiencing internally, he could not help but secretly sigh. For such a young lady with beauty that exceeded that of an immortal, only the young master would be able to enjoy it. Only the young master would be so indulgent!
“Oh, by the way, please have Xiao Lu prepare some water for bathing, and deliver it here.” Ye Qi was almost out of the doorstep when Ye Wuchen’s instruction sounded in his ears. He quickly responded, then headed out.
Although the water had washed away the smell of blood from Tong Xin’s body, it was not completely out. He wanted to thoroughly remove the smell of blood from Tong Xin’s body.
“Tong Xin, do you remember what I told you?” Ye Wuchen forced himself not to think of his unreal theory.
The black-dressed young lady nodded her head. She would not dare to forget his words. In case someone offended her or the person she was protecting, or without his approval, she could not kill or release her deadly air.
The steaming hot bathtub was carried over by Ye Qi and Ye Ba. Ye Wuchen waved his hand for them to leave, then bent his waist towards Tong Xin. “Me and Xue-er will go out. You will bathe here while waiting for us to return, understand?”
Tong Xin blinked, her eyes full of bewilderment.
Ye Wuchen helplessly closed his eyes. Tong Xin’s clothes, both the inner and outer garments were exactly the same as Ning Xue’s clothes, so he familiarly takes off Tong Xin’s dress, then carried her to the bathtub. He opened his eyes and spoke in a serious manner, “Wash off all the smells on your body, and quietly wait here for my return. During this time, do not let anyone in.”
He did not directly look at her body, because her beauty alone would already make a person lose his mind. If she were to show off her naked body, Ye Wuchen was worried that he would be unable to resist her himself.
Tong Xin’s body was completely submerged in the water, with only her head and the jade bead-like rounded shoulders exposed. Although she was reluctant, she still nodded her head obediently.
Ye Wuchen gave Tong Xin’s clothes to Xiao Lu, leaving instructions to wash them clean. He then left with Ning Xue. The first place they would visit was the Meng Yan Lou, where had been this morning.
Ye Wuchen was back safely, yet the four women, Feng, Hua, Xue, and Yue, who were following him did not come back. Without any news, Shui Mengchan was sure to be restless. Being told of his arrival, she quickly asked her men to lead him inside.
“Lady Shui, are you worrying about your four subordinates?” Ye Wuchen asked, straight to the point and without any greetings, as he sat down on the place he had occupied earlier.
“Since Master Ye is already back, they would have come back already.” Shui Mengchan answered. She did not doubt that Ye Wuchen had already known he was being followed.
“Ai! They will not come back anymore, so lady Shui, please do not bother to look for them.” Ye Wuchen sighed, and answered with a face full of regret.
“Oh? What do you mean Master Ye?” Shui Mengchan’s voice was still as gentle as mist, but her heart was beating madly.
“Speaking of, I must have inflicted it on them. They were fighting with Tao BaiBai, risking their lives, but they were no match for Tao BaiBai, so they all died. The four of them were protecting me… No, I should say, they were protecting the Sword of the Southern Empire. They really didn’t hesitate even to their deaths. Indeed they were people of the Southern Empire Clan. No other would be able to bring up clan members with such absolute loyalty.” Ye Wuchen said sighing as he described the details of their deaths. With only this explanation, Shui Mengchan would not suspect anything, because the Sword of the Southern Empire was indeed the most important thing for the Southern Empire Clan. It would be the one reason why they would risk their lives.
The atmosphere suddenly went cold, as a stormy moment flashed past them. Ye Wuchen lifted a teacup and took a sip. His face was calm and emotionless, as if he did not notice anything. The owner of this aura was impressively Shui Mengchan.
“For you to return back safely, they served their purpose. Do you know where Tao BaiBai is right now?” Shui Mengchan asked plainly, but her breath was evidently in disorder. The seven under her had protected her since she was a small child; they were her most trusted and most powerful subbordinates. Each one of them had an absolutely high level of strength, and any one of them could walk proudly sideways across the entire Heavenly Star Continent. Now they lost four members in a single day. Such loss was certainly unbearable for the Southern Empire Clan and for Shui Mengchan. It was no doubt a very huge blow to her.
“He’s dead. Dead from an enchanted device that my teacher had given me. Although it could only be used once, it was indeed a very powerful one that even Tao BaiBai died from it. Lady Shui, if you have time, you may visit the area in front of the Devil’s Trap Pagoda to see it for yourself.” Ye Wuchen repeated the explanation he had given to Ye Wei, and continued, “I had already buried the four corpses in that place. After all, they had died because of me. But even without their presence, I still could have eliminated Tao BaiBai all the same, so, I am thankful to your Southern Empire Clan, but I do not owe you anything.”
Shui Mengchan was silent again. Feng, Hua, Xue, and Yue, the four of them died in the hands of Tao BaiBai—she was not surprised by that. Tao BaiBai was indeed the so-called “Tian Long Number One Killer” Heaven-Level Master. But for Tao BaiBai to die at the hands of Ye Wuchen, she could not help but feel surprised.
What could be the enchanted device he was talking about?
“Wuchen came here to tell lady Shui. I’m done with my business, so I will take my leave.”
Ye Wuchen stood, and lead Ning Xue to the exit. Shui Mengchan did not respond for a very long time, not even the few words of courtesy or farewell. There was no telling what she was absent-mindedly thinking about.
